    Summary

    Remus watched one of his friends die before him and the other get gravely injured, and he is trying to recover from the guilt of not being able to help either of them. Tonks, meanwhile, is spiraling after her injury, still working as an auror despite the Ministry coming to a crash with her in it.

    Both just wish their lives were a little bit more bearable. Fortunately, Remus doesn't have anywhere else to go between Order missions and Tonks needs some help while recovering. The two are driven together in a time of crisis that leads them to falling head over heels for one another.

    (Not exactly canon-divergent, but I really love expanding on the characters and the world, so I've taken a ton of liberties with the details... but I'm keeping it as closely and accurately to the little information that I do have). A slow-burn timeline from summer 1996 through mid 1997)

    TWs: Drug usage is minor medicinal usage, but I tagged it anyways to be safe. The suicidal thoughts are not explicit and are without ideation. Self-harm is primarily risky behavior related to werewolf transformation and scratching at skin. There is cursing and mature sex/violence.

    Summary

    Formerly Tell Me Your Story
    (Also I rewrote the first two chapters. The first one is largely the same but the second one is definitely different).
    Katie Maxwell is a young author who found success early in her life thanks to her bestselling character Elizabeth Element. After she settled into her job at Keller University outside DC, she thinks she has everything she ever wanted, friends, success, money, and a bright future. At least she thought she did until she ran into Cal Lightman at a school function. While they hit it off almost immediately, Katie quickly finds out that a relationship with Cal is harder than she expected as she finds herself trying to fit herself into his busy life of being a father and dedicated business owner. Will Katie figure out how to get Cal to open his life and heart in order to fall in love again? Or will his abrasive nature push Katie away?

    Summary

    Remus has insomnia and stumbles upon Tonks, freshly returned from a mission. Quiet shared over tea, injuries tended, and the first forming strands of undeniable chemistry that Remus is struggling to ignore.

    (Timeline circa Order of the Phoenix and afterwards, though a slightly different spin on events that may be involved therein. This begins pre-relationship.)
